About the EventMen of all ages who care about sports and the best times together as well as the community headed to the Delray Acura Club at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton on May 16 for a unique opportunity to hear from Lane Kiffin, FAU’s new head football coach. With a panoramic view overlooking the field where the Owls play, they also enjoyed dinner, an open bar and premium networking at this Men’s Night Out presented by Federation’s Men’s Division.

Men’s Division Co-Chairs Ira Holz and Ken Lebersfeld greeted “many old friends and new faces” from the podium. FAU President Dr. John Kelly welcomed the enthusiastic crowd to the stadium, calling out the vital work of the Federation and its beneficiary agencies in the community, including Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach for its wealth of programming and support for Jewish students on the campus.

Federation COO Mel Lowell, with 30 years of prior experience in professional sports management, stressed the importance of the growing Federation/FAU partnership and “the enormous value of a beloved sports team to a community.” Bryan Drowos shared the broad and deep impact of Federation’s work and thanked everyone for their support.

Pat Chun, FAU Vice President and Director of Athletics, proudly introduced Coach Kiffin. Interviewing him onstage, Ken Lavicka, ESPN Voice of the FAU Owls, called Lane Kiffin “about as big time as it gets in college football.”
